This Saturday, a team of students traveled to the Experimental Forest in Troy, Idaho to help unearth new trails for the community to enjoy. Along the way our group made friends, met River the blood hound and experiences to cherish for many years.

First arriving to the forest the team stretched their legs and smelled the fresh air.
